Abstract

A systematically applied strategy for selecting candidates for intrapartum chemoprophylaxis to decrease the incidence of early-onset GBS disease is an important component of midwifery care. The strategy that an individual practice chooses to follow will depend upon multiple factors including but not limited to: the prevalence of GBS colonization in the prenatal population, ability of clients to return for regular prenatal visits, availability of laboratory services, choices made for screening and treatment by collaborating obstetric and pediatric colleagues, place of birth and logistics required for protocol compliance.
